Which side of the plane to sit from Longjia Airport (Changchun) to Yantai Laishan Airport (Yantai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the urban skyline of Shenyang, the expansive harbor of Dalian, and the unique island chain of the Bohai Strait during the descent.
Shenyang Skyline
The dense high-rise architecture and radial urban layout of Liaoning's capital city.
Dalian Harbor
Massive container ships and the complex infrastructure of one of China's busiest ports.
Miaodao Islands
A striking chain of islands forming a natural bridge across the Bohai Strait.
Penglai Pavilion
The historical coastal area of Penglai where the Bohai Sea meets the Yellow Sea.
The right side is perfect for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Bohai Sea. As you approach Yantai, keep your camera ready for the Dalian Bay Cross-sea Traffic Engineering and the intricate patterns of wind farms located along the coastline. The descent often passes directly over the island chains, providing excellent photo opportunities.
Qianshan Mountains
Rugged peaks and dense forest cover stretching across eastern Liaoning province.
Fushun City
Aerial perspective of the industrial hub and its historical mining districts.
Yellow Sea Coastline
The deep blue waters of the Korea Bay as the flight leaves the Liaodong Peninsula.
Weihai Coast
Views of the rocky headlands and coastal developments of the northern Shandong Peninsula.
Select the left side for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight and glare. This side is particularly scenic during winter when the mountains of eastern Liaoning are covered in snow, highlighting the terrain's dramatic relief. Watch for the Yalu River estuary far to the east on clear days.
